Following this papers findings a discussion will be held if this – from a deterministic standpoint, can be a pointer towards what Russia’s actions will ultimately lead to, with the respect to the changes in global factors such as the creation of the UN and the invention of nuclear weapons which has happened during the hundreds years separating the two cases.
